Country figures for a list of names, at full precision, are available under licence rather than by scraping this table (how that works).

Other names spelled this way(inferred from the name graph)

Akasha is also recorded as another name, grouped separately because the records behind them do not connect to the one described above.

    Also written আকাশা

44 further groups record this spelling and are not listed here.

Grouping is the name graph's, not a register's: two spellings join a group when the evidence links them, so a group is a claim about the records rather than about the people.

Other recorded senses(measured from records)

Akasha is also recorded in one other lexicon, as a different name or as an ordinary word. These are senses of the spelling, not of the name above.

  • In Latvian, viena no tatvām - tumši zila olveida elipse, mazs aplītis, vai otrādi apgriezts komats - mūžīgās gudrības, smalkā elementa "ēters" un ādžņa čakras simbols

Ordered by how much of this spelling's record each language holds, so a sense from a language the name is barely used in sits last rather than first.

Is Akasha a male or female name?
Akasha is recorded for both men and women. We don't publish a percentage split: a record's gender belongs to the person and is attached to every given name on that record, so names in cultures where a name string also carries a parent's or spouse's given name pick up large cross-gender counts.

In the etymology graph, Akasa is a form of the same name in other languages.
In which country does Akasha have the most bearers?
Mondonomo estimates about 4.8 thousand people named Akasha in Pakistan, more than in any other country we hold, where it is most often spelled akasha.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
